Confrontation with the former North American Champion

[Deleted]

It was on this night, 8 days before the proceeding Mayhem, that former North American Champion Bill Ryder along with his "brother" James Champ had just wrapped up their promo against Madison Murdock and Ryan Mercury. It was on this night that for a brief moment the latter etam were in complete and utter control of the verbal onslaught that surely would follow between these competitors. it was on this night that quite frankly, I have had enough.

James Champ had left Bill Ryder alone in their "family" locker room to change, to masterbate or whatever else pricks do in their spare time, that I had seen their promo towards Maddie and boy I wasn't in the best of moods. I stormed down the corridor, steel chair in hand, ready to bash in the former champions skull. But when I got there, when my hand reached the door knob, my anger released along with the chair from my hand. I entered the locker room not so much looking for a fight, but rather a discussion with the former champion that I once had respect for.

"Sit down Bill."

He didn't sit and I didn't really expect him too.

"I know you got your head up Roman's ass and I get that, trust me, my head was far up Scorpions once before, but I know you are some where in there still. The same Bill Ryder that I once could call a true respectable star here in EHWF. I know that may is in there some where but I am not speaking to him right now. I am speaking to the little punk ass devil that you are being made out to be. So this is for him."

I move up, nose to nose, eye to eye, with Bill Ryder and press my forehead against his.

"You want to act big bad and tough, fine be my guest. You want to insult Maddie, sure she is a big girl and can handle herself. Where you cross the line...No where you and James cross the line is when you little pricks start talking about sexually abusing her or further more letting Roman lay his hand on her. I swear to you Bill, what I did to TQ Smooth at Scars and Stripes will be nothing to what I do to you if Maddie is harmed in that way. Go tell your 'brother.' Go tell your 'father.' Fuck go tell Michael Rissi to put a restraining order on me for all I care, but I swear that I will end your career if that old fuck lays one hand on her. Do you hear me Bill? Do you fucking hear me?"

I wait for Bill to respond as I back away. I half expect him to take a cheap shot at me, but I was prepared as my own fist raised to me side.

I stood there like a well built statue, unmoved, un-phased by his threats that had come by verbal exchange. I could feel my patience becoming more uneasy now as his voice grew with each desperate attempt to try to make his mark. I couldn't help but smirk, but not any smirk, the kind of smirk you get what someone is trying to tell you that they simply don't give a fuck about your threats.

'Isn't this a surprise? Whenever the precious Maddie Murdock's undefeated streak is in jeopardy, her boyfriend comes out of the woodwork.'

If there was one thing to be made clear.. Black Man's words did more harm than good when referring to Maddie's chances at making it out of the next Mayhem in one piece.

'Beat my ass? Are you still even an employee here? You know what.. it doesn't matter. Your girlfriend.. well what happens to her will not be judged by me, but by my father. If I were you though.. I would keep a close eye on her though.. I don't think my family is the only one who has Maddie on their radar'

Bill would look into Black Man's eyes, as a smirk would cross his face.

'I hear she's fascinated with the planet Mercury as well'

The former North American Champion stood there waiting for Black Man to respond.

I chuckle, hell what else could I honestly due. Though the truth of the matter was, I didn't like the though of Maddie with Ryan any more then I liked the thought of Maddie with anyone. I couldn't let Bill see my growing frustration over his theory, so what else could I do but laugh.

"Bill, let be the first to say that I have no worries when it comes to Ryan Mercury. Ryan, well he may be the up and comer here in EWHF, but he doesn't a candle stick to what I have done and what I am still capable of doing inside that ring. Now, thats not a challenge by any means to him, but he isn't my concern, you are. You see Bill I don't understand where you went wrong and I really never will. You will figure out your demons in due time and come to the realization you went down the wrong path, as I did. What I do care about is your 'father' and 'brothers' threats. I will be keeping my eye on your match and this is not a threat, if something happens to her on your hands.....Well lets just say your night will end with a Black Stunn."

I go to speak once more, but am cut off by Bill.

[Deleted]

I could see that weak look of concern whenever I brought up her and Ryan in the same sentence. He tried to hide it, but I could see past his desperate attempt to hide his true feelings. It had been no secret that Madison Murdock had been Black Man's weakness, and it didn't take a genius to figure that out.

'Keep a close eye all you want. Hell, even come sit at ring sing if you want a closer look at this slaughter fest. But, remember.. If you do stick your nose in my families business, well..'

There had been a look of confidence that had now perceived his face. He would speak to Black Man in a forward tone, so that even he could understand what I was about to tell him.

'I just hope you're prepared for the Ryde of Your Life'

That ever so famous glare crept back across his face, as he waited for Black Man to respond.

[Deleted]

'The Ryde of my life.' That was a catchy tune I thought as I stood their contimplating my next move. I couldn't keep all my attention on Bill, for at any moment James and Roman could return and leave me at a numbers disadvantage. I stood back from Bill and walked slowly towards the door.

"Bill, I would love to take a ride anytime you want to bring it. This however, is not the time nor the place and quite frankly I am not the one you should be foccusing on. Get ready for your match Bill. You may underestimate Ryan, but don't underestimate Maddie. She is the longest reigning and best North American Champion ever afterall."

I laugh at the one thing Bill will never ever be better then Maddie at.

"I would say good luck, but you and I both know that I wish you nothing of the sort."

I turn to leave the locker room, but Bill has one final statement to make before I leave.

[Deleted]

'So quick to run our mouths, but we are even quicker to run'

He was now standing in the door way now. I could feel his eyes penetrating straight through me as I had spoken to him, not out of disrespect, but out of truth.

'By you showing up here wasn't out of heroism, it was out of pure desperation because you know deep down that Maddie Murdock will never be half the wrestler that I am. My title reign was due to pure talent, hers.. well she was fed with a silver spoon, as management handed her their useless scraps. I may not be the champion anymore, but at least I could say I didn't ride managements dick to get there. We both know on a even leveled, unbiased ground, that she could never defeat me, but she will because she has management by the balls. The truth hurts doesn't it..'

I watched his face grow sour as the words splurged from my mouth.

In my younger days I probably would have leashed for his throat. I would have torn Bill limp from limp with any object that I could get my hands on. Thats what I would have done.....in my younger days. As I stood their now, more mature and far more wise all I did was nod at Bill and with a sarcastic grin muttered:

"Exactly Bill, exactly."

Talking to Bill now, trying to reel in some sense into that thick skull was pointless. I had been there before. I knew what the corruption in my head did to me. Bill had traveled down that same path. For now he thinks its good for him, but eventually he would wake up and realize the mistakes and bridges that he burnt.

"Have a good night Bill. I will be seeing you around."

He tried to antagonize me to hit him, I know thats what his intention was. But I did not bite. I left with my hands clean from this mess and proceeded to find Madison....we had a lot to discuss before Friday Night.

[Deleted]

The sarcasm that had been filtered inside the back of his throat had been enough to make me sick to my stomach. I wanted him to hit me, but deep down I knew he wouldn't.

'Exactly. Walk away.. I think we both know if things got physical here tonight.. that it would be you who would be the one leaving in a body bag. I hope you're good on your promises.. because I know I always fulfill mine'

I would stand there with my arms folded neatly across the my chest.

'The next time you step inside my locker room unannounced.. I will make it my job to erase you from this companies existence. Shit.. I might even be doing a few people a favor, perhaps I will finally get that much needed raise I had been promised long ago.'

He would pull out an unopened box of green mint flavored tic tacs. He would toss them down out the door way, as they would come into contact with the back of Black Man's jacket just before falling to the floor.

'I thought you could use these because your breath smells like absolute shit. I couldn't tell you if it's from Maddie's stench rotted swamp ass or from Ryan's two inch aids infested cock. Either way, your welcome'

I slammed my locker room door shut.
